Man found dead in San Diego jail is identified

San Diego  A 54-year-old man found dead in his jail cell has been identified as Robin Lee Berryhill of San Diego, the Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday.

Berryhill was found in his cell around 9:45 p.m. Friday by corrections deputies after he failed to report for his medications. He was arrested by Coronado police on suspicion of making threats and vandalism.

The Medical Examiner’s Office said he died from coronary atherosclerosis or a build-up of plaque on the artery walls. Advanced alcoholic liver disease and hypertrophic cardiomegaly, a disease that affects the muscle of the heart, were also contributing conditions to the death.
